Welcome to the community @elly9 how are you doing today? You may find some groups you can join by contacting your local council or your local library.

Hi @elly9
It can be hard to feel lonely and isolated but I think it is a great idea to get out and meeting other people! What area do you live in? Maybe we can find a few groups for you?Scope
